You're Mine

4

I feel a bit better after a cry, shower and clean clothes, but I avoid the boys for the rest of the day, not venturing out of my room. I decided to turn my phone off as Edward and Harry kept trying to call and text me about talking and I just don't want a bar of any of it.

At 4:30 there is a knock at my bedroom door that I ignore.

"Lou, Andy wants you downstairs for a family meeting" Ben says through the door.

"I don't want to go Ben" I tell him. I sit in the middle of my bed, legs crossed in my grey sweats and navy blue T-shirt and white socks on my feet.

"I know bud but the sooner you come down the sooner it's over and the sooner Andy and Liam let up. I know you know what's going to happen if they both have to come up here and get you.....please" Ben asks pleadingly.

I sigh, I hate that this is effecting Ben too, I love him to death and he always has my back, I know he'll be on my side. Besides, I don't have to admit or say anything at the meeting, they can't make me.

I hop off the bed and go to open the door, I'm met with a smiling Ben

"Thanks buddy" he says.

"I'm sorry" I tell him

He looks at me confused.

"What for?" He asks as he places his hand on my lower back and leads me downstairs.

"For being a burden" I say quietly.

Ben looks at me confused but before he gets a chance to speak, we're downstairs and entering the lounge. What surprises me though, is it's not just Liam, Andy and Jax in the room, but Scott, Edward and Harry are here too.

As soon as I enter I want to leave as all eyes land on me. Harry, Scott, Andy and Liam are all standing around the room while Edward and Jax sit on the lounge, there are two single Lounge chairs to the left of the couch and I know I'm supposed to sit on one....alone

Ben takes his place on the couch next to Jax and I just stand facing the boys as they look at me. They all look on sympathetically and worried, except for Andy, he looks angry. It's silent for a few minutes and it's so uncomfortable.

"Well this has been great but I'm going to go now" I say sassily when no one makes a move to talk, I turn my back on the boys and go to walk out.

"Don't you dare leave this room" Liam booms angrily at me.

I stop in my tracks, Liam never raises his voice at me, I slowly turn around and face the group, my breathing heavy.

"You can start explaining now Louis" Liam tells me harshly.

"Explaining what?" I ask innocently.

"For a start, why the fuck I had to hear from my best friends that my baby brother is getting abused at school" Andy yells at me.

Fuck, they know, I look at the floor, I can't make eye contact with any of the boys.

"Why the hell didn't you come to us, why did we have to find out from Harry and Edward?" Liam backs Andy up with the harsh tone.

"They gave you plenty of time to come to us yourself...so why didn't you" Andy seethes.

I don't want to listen to this, I'm being abused at school and I'm still the one in the wrong, I'm still the one getting into trouble, I can't win.

I turn around to leave but Scott is there, grabbing me around the waist, lifting me back up and bringing me back into the room.

"Not so fast" He tells me.
